Rules of Conduct
Rules of Conduct
They're posted because I expect them to be followed!!
- Most Important Rule Number 0) The minimum age limit recommended is 17 years of age. As stated before, I can�t guarantee you�ll all be this age. But I have stated below the contents of the RPG, as well as the actions I will take if someone tries to get me in trouble for this. I�m a nice person, but I won�t take bullets for anyone else if you know what I mean.
- 1) I�ll state this now, I believe in freedom of expression as much as I do in moral standards. I do not allow people to censor my writings, but I will place limitations on what is put out.
- 2) Profanity is allowed, however, it cannot be used every sentence, etc. Use it when necessary, or you seem ignorant.
- 3) Considering this is a horror style game, it�s gonna get bloody and violent. Live with it, but I promise there won�t be anything TOO, TOO horrid. Even I have limits.
- 4) Sexuality is often a thing that is touchy in RPGs. Let�s leave it like this, I�ll accept anything that�s low-R rated, but I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING MORE! I despise total sex! Nor will I accept explicit sexual perversion.
- 5) Furthermore on sexuality, your character is yours to design, and I�m not going to protest if you want a homosexual character. In fact, I myself am a fan of yaoi, for reasons I need not explain, I think. However, this is not a strictly yaoi RPG. I encourage being open to almost all forms of creativity.
- 6) If you have a problem with something, address a message to ME and only ME, and we�ll work it out. I�m a stickler for confidentiality, and I dislike matters being fought over by everyone in a game because it creates unrest and detracts from the story line.
- 7) This is an anime-based RPG, but because it is based off my own form of world as well, I will not allow any characters from either VHD movie. All characters must be original.
- 8) Do NOT, I repeat do NOT join this RPG if you�re going to complain about the views presented in it. I will kick you from the game if that happens. I HATE IT when people join something like this, then harp to me that I�m evil and going to hell because my beliefs are different!
- 9) NO CHAIN LETTERS! I�m sorry little Annie in Russia has cancer, but I seriously doubt my forwarding a letter a thousand times is going to have any impact on her life, and I KNOW Microsoft ain�t gonna give me money for sending around a letter about them.
- 10) As far as rules go, I AM GOD. My word goes, and I am a fair person, so do not question me. If you do, I�ll say tough nookie. I have NO idea what a nookie is, but I�ll bet it�s tough to begin with, so it�ll just get tougher!
- 11) For God�s sake, HAVE FUN! I know there are rules, but they�re a lot more lenient than other RPGs I�ve been in!
- 12) I used to like baseball, so here�s a tip. Three warnings, for infractions of the rules. And if you get those three, well, guess what? You�ve struck out and got your ass kicked out. You CAN earn yourself off strikes by ��good behavior��, meaning you don�t do anything wrong for a certain amount of time. And if you Do get kicked out, I may be convinced to let you have another try, but I�ll be watching you like a hawk.
- 13) Try to post as often as possible. I myself know this is a hard thing; I may at times have to leave the RPG hanging for as much as a week due to time constraints. I am a member of many musical orchestras, I attend martial arts, work at a hospital, I�m part of the Air Force JROTC, and I�m a full-time student. Thus, I run out of hours in the day.
- 14) I�ve gone to all the trouble of writing out all the things necessary for the RPG, and I didn�t do it for myself. I did it for you, and I�d advise you read it.
- 15) Further more, I went to the trouble of writing the Guidelines for you, so you know how I want everything to be posted. Please do so.
- 16) I reserve the right to admit and reject characters at my discretion. If its only something about our profile, I�ll give you unlimited chances to change it. But if I happen to know you from another RPG, and I know how you played there and I know it wasn�t right, I�ll not give any reasons why I reject you.
- 17) When you�re accepted, the first thing I�m going to ask you is whether or not you read the rules. I will keep the reply on file. Therefore, if have a problem with anyone�s Mommy or Daddy, I will forward them the letter you sent me stating that you knew and read the rules.
- 18) Okay, here�s the fun part. When you receive a post, or start one, it will be started like so:
Lonesome Travels: Act One: The Illumina Council
- Started By: Samael
- Players: (Your characters names will be stated here)
- Blah, blah, blah, yakitty-shmakitty . . .
- Okay, now, when you get this post, you�re going to COPY the post (meaning for the computer illiterate you select all of the post, then right click and hit copy). Then you hit reply, which will have EVERYONE�S address who is playing. Delete the stuff on there, because I hate those little arrow thingies! And then paste the message. Then, add to the bottom and send. Presto!
